Bio
Catalina DeHaertig
Patricia is the most innovative, creative, energetic, vision-driven educator that I have ever known. Working with her was one of the most amazing and enriching experience I have ever had. She tirelessly introduces to her students new ways to learn and acquire information. Her methodology is dynamic, challenging and enticing to new discoveries. I admire her drive, dedication, extraordinary work ethic, and vision for the future. She has a remarkable background and a vast career that offers so much to the education field, that I cannot wait for her to have all her works published. She is genius in a bottle... the world can't wait for the genius to come out!
